"Islam Is Still Rooted in the Dark Ages"

Food for thought, from the UK of all places, where 'see no Islam, hear no Islam, speak no Islam' has been the motto of successive British governments for many years now.

Unfortunately, I believe it's too late for Britain. But at least some people have the guts to at least have a conversation about the issues, in the national press.

"It is ludicrous to pretend that Islamism has nothing to do with Islam. It has everything to do with Islam and that is precisely why it has such a potent appeal to so many young Muslim men and women."

"As any scholar of Islam will tell you, the ideology behind Isil and al-Qaeda is as rooted in the Koran as are daily prayers and eating halal meat. Like Christianity, it just depends which verses you care to read and how literal an interpretation you choose to give them."
